Abstract
A method and system for acknowledging multiple frames in a communication network is provided. A receiver detects transmission of frames from a transmitter. The receiver determines a format for an acknowledgment frame comprising multiple bytes, from multiple frame acknowledgment formats for reporting status of reception of the frames by the receiver. The receiver reports the status of reception of the frames by encoding a distance between a number of frames between two successive correctly received frames, between two successive unsuccessfully received frames, between a correctly received frame and a successive unsuccessfully received frame, or between an unsuccessfully received frame and a successive correctly received frame, in the acknowledgment frame. One or more of the frame acknowledgment formats are configured to generate the acknowledgment frame for acknowledging the frames using a decreased number of bytes. The receiver generates the acknowledgment frame in the determined format for acknowledging the frames.
